Sierra

Something tells me that I posted a cropped version of this on the old blog, but I can’t find it in the archives so here you go. I designed this set myself and built it with the help of my friends Rich and Rudy. Wow that sounds like a sitcom name. 🙂 , There were some scuffs on the floor that I didn’t see in the Polaroids that were quite obvious on film. but had the retoucher fix it all up for me. Anyway, this was shot for a hair care company and as far as I know was not used. I think I told the story before, but basically the company switched agencies right after the shoot and they went a different direction. I was shooting a model one day and looking through her book and saw the ads that they shot with the new agency. I really liked them. I’m not sure if that sucks or not.

model: Sierra Reed
makeup/hair: Dedra Whitt
